Maybe. Look as CFG CRS and VFO OFS in the manual.

I doubt that the signal is being "pulled down." The source is an FET follower
which should have a low source impedance.

I just ran a test on my K3S configuration. Using an XG-2 on 20 meters and the
SDR-IQ, which is very well calibrated, the i-f output is 6 dB below the antenna
input.

Good afternoon Wes and all,
If I connect the antenna directly to the QSR-1, I get the same signal level
as the K3s. But, when I connect to the QSR-1 to the IF-out, the signal is
about 4 s-units
I use an SDR-IQ on the i-f output on my (very) early K3S. it works fine. IIRC,
always a dubious proposition, I did the mod on my original K3 and it worked well
too without any additional amplification. I think you have another problem.

I don't believe that configuration management is Elecraft's strong suit.

I was writing about a K3S, but just for you I powered up the K3 that I keep as a
backup and it works too. Are you appending the semi-colon?
BTW, my K3S F/W is 5.62 and the K3 is 5.0.

If you're looking for guesses, I would narrow it down to sometime before the
